Hi! Here's my updated score:
A few points better than my earlier submission :-)
Just couldn't break into the 357 speed.
Too fast for me but I'll keep on trying!
73 and Mabuhay!

Hello, this time no new score(s) :(((, but I have trained on high speed, and
here is one of the attemps: ...
p.s. new record is wrelly TO BIG, mine dream is to break 100k, but for now
it's just a DREAM, hi
73 de TOM 9A5TO


My dream of being on the top 20 list seams reachable now.
I obtained the new max speed 446!
It's fun to watch the fight on the top. Maybe one day ...
73 de Lech, LA7MFA


Let's make a game more fun.
3 points more are quite enough to be back on the top (for now). HI.
Mladen, YU7NU


Here is the new best score for SP5LGT. I finally crossed 50K, but there are very many stations around here. I need to get at least 1K points more!
73 de Lech, SP5LGT


I dispatch to you some my records and my pupils.
It, certainly, not a limit.
Generally, the sportsmen of Russia and Belorus have lifted the reachings,
but they have no an exit in the Internet.
Whenever possible I shall send their reachings. On it all. While.
73 Evgenij RV9CPV
[DL4MM: ]Many thanks for incredible scores from your UA9-crew !
CONGRATS for this top performance !
I think there will be an interesting "head to head" competition with YU7NU.
Yes I know that there a difficulties with access to Internet.
So I'm happy that you can do QSP time to time.


.. two days after finally breaking through 30k I came home from work and broke through some more! Here is my latest score: From 29.5k to 32.7k to 34.3k. Wow! 73, David XE1/AA6RX


thanks so much for an amazing cw training program! 73, David XE1/AA6RX

[DL4MM:] CONGRATS TO YOU FOR NEW RUFZ-RECORD !!!


Here is my latest result. Finally I am number one in Scandinavia!
It is amazing how I improved during 4 months of regular training.
I want to go a be further now, and maybe reach "top twenty"
in the near future.
Last week I bought new PC head phones, so this is probably the reason, hi.

CW is the language of my heart...

Hello, here is new score....
9A5TO-66351-462-500-6245xxx
That RUFZ is like seacret, hi, you never know what gonna hapend.... last 2 weeks I tried it at home few times per a day but scores was always about 50k, I was very nervous and I thinked that will never get more than 55k in my life :(
but today I come in the club and in first attempt make 61k wooow
and finaly now again over 66k, it's just 4th time to beat 60k, but it is new high score - YES
3th weekend it will be 9A QRQ championship....and I hope that will keep this good form in rufz
unfortunatly I'm now in senior class and it will be hard to take place in 9A team.... 2EU, 2EE are much beter than me ;(( but I will do my best and hope to take place in the team....and hope then to see with You, Fabian, Mark and other guys/girls in Romania next year
OK. That's all for this time, sorry for all that text but I must write it.
vy 73's & CUL de 9A5TO TOM


I really tried to break 30k to accompany my 357 top speed, but to no
avail. Maybe next time, hi!
Once again, thanks so much for an amazing cw training program!
73, David XE1/AA6RX



Still there are hopes for the future. I only need to stay at that speed.
73 de Lech, SP5LGT
[DL4MM]: Congrats for breaking Speed 400.
Why staying at this speed, you don't like to be better ?


I have not stayed at 403 speed. Here is my latest top score.. (416)
73 de Lech, SP5LGT


Here is my latest top score. Now on my 36th birthday I am finally number 1 in LA!
The next target is to be number 1 in Scandinavia, I guess.
I love this software!
73 de Lech, LA7MFA


Again, my new best score. Now I'll try to beat my fellow scandinavians.
They are just ahead of me.
I should be fit for the WAEDC contest this weekend. I am going to try to use
PC for logging of QTCs for the first time.
73 de Lech, LA7MFA


It is difficult to cross the 20k limit but at least I managed to
cross my old result AGAIN
Best regards Piotr LA9HFA


It is difficult to cross the 20k limit but at least I managed to

Here is my latest score.
It is only 150 points better, but it should place me on 50th place on
the list! Wow, some months ago I would not belive this was possible.

Nice sw: i love the cw!!!

After two years i'm back to rufz and here is my new best score:
Is not something BIG, but is my... hi --... ...--
Arpi/S51AY


I was on hollydays for abt 3 weeks, and I had my computer with me.
Every day I trained CW with this program, and now my score is better.
But where are the french OM's ?
many thanks and 73 from F5PLC Michel.


I am sending you my latest score. After weeks of training I have finally
managed to set this new record. I have also managed max speed
of 357 char/min so there are hopes for the future.
I have looked at other CW software during the weekend, and found nothing
comparable with RUFZ!
73 de Lech, LA7MFA


During last years "Double Trouble" DXpedition to T31, ZK3 and KH8 I
experienced how much RUFZ helped
me in managing CW puilups. The training was specially usefull for receiving
long JA calls,
which are only sent once. Running JA puilup from the Pacific is almost like
running RUFZ software, hi hi.
Now I am practicing for the CQ WPX Contest.
Once again RUFZ is a perfect CW training software both for running puilups
and contest. Just get rid
of some HP, 5W and A35 calls. But they help obtaining the good scores by the
way, hi.
Will continue to run RUFZ, wonder how far I can go.
73 de Lech, LA7MFA (also SP5LGT, ZK3MF, ex. KK6HC)


After hard training finally I have best 9A score....
my dream come thrue :-)
tnx again for beautiful program (game)

Wonderfull this week!
at the first time i dont think to be able for my new score!
but what a pleasure when i copy correctly long call at the first time!
Many thanks again and best 73
MICHEL F5PLC


Many tanks and congratulations for this nice program.
It is new for me since 10 days!
I hope to be able at 300 max speed. But is that possible?....

Hello, here is my new record: ... This is only a few points better but I am still on the way. 73 de Gerald - DL4KG


Dear Math, i don't know how can explain and show my happyness...
this time my score is not just a simple better score, is a real success!!!
All the best Fausto IZ1BPR


I've reached the TOP. (Speed 657)
Already few scores just over 100k...someday....
73 Mladen YU7NU


Hello again,
after long absence due to my move and the work in the new house I tried
RUFZ again and after several bad attempts I got a new personal record.
Hope to be back with a new record soon.
73 de Gerald - DL4KG


Here is my last RUFZ score. A small step of 100 points ahead, that' s
not a lot but I resume the training after a few months of non activity
with the " cw sport ". So, after that time, I am happy I have reached
a speed of 347 .... All hope is not lost (hi).
Congratulations for still keeping the list !
All the very best for 2000. Guy ( on4klg )


I don't belive !! I'm starting to understand cw !!
Merry Christmas . Ciao Carlo, IK1SLE


Hi Math, i'm enjoing a lot with RUFZ...it's a fantastic game and day by day
i'm improving my CW...
Thanks a lot and i hope to send you a new best score as soon as possible.73
Fausto IZ1BPR.


.. I always enjoy with Rufz3.1, every days, when homeworks let me
enough free time, I do my exercises. Perhaps my scores is hard to take it
over hi...
Dear matt, I have two questions asking to you: first is if RUFZ3.1 does run
under windows98. I'm upgrading my computer support and in a week or two
I'll get a newer and speder Pentium. I'll be sad if rRUFZ cant works there.
Second question is just a curiousity, I wornder if you are working for a
new version of that sotware or other similar.
.. I geve all who readme, my best 73 and 88 for yls.
Gabriel IZ4APU@IK4ICZ
[DL4MM:] No Problem, RUFZ 3.1 is running under Windows98, but for reliable
work RUFZ must be executed in pure WIN98-MS-DOS-Mode, not in the DOS-Box


I have the pleasure to test the RUFZ program and I can say congratulation.
I like it very much. I like CW and QRP. Now the propagation on 10 m is not
so good, so I choise RUFZ. Hoply in the near future with better results, I sand
here my last top result.

Hello folks,
after moving my QTH I found time to use RUFZ again. I got no new high
score but a new top speed ..
Hope to be back with new top score soon.
Best regards,
Gerald - DL4KG now in JN48OU (Stuttgart)


Great stuff, I like it!
Will improve, hope to hear You
73 de YU1UO



I have also some comments on the programme.

I whish there were more stations from EU one could listen. After all they are the most active in real contests. So far I have not heard any SP, LZ, LY, ON, YU, SM, S5. Now every time I hear SP in the beging of the call I am sure it is HP, hi!
It would be more fun if the calls were the calls which are really active in the contest + some more special calls. Now I dont know most of the calls, but after some weeks of training I am sure I will start guessing the calls anyway. At least I would suggest more normal callsigns. After all one memorize the callsigns so it is the best to memorize the callsigns one would expect in the real contest.
So the program will also make you fit for the real thing, not only focus on QRQ CW. I would suggest less HP and more SP, less 4K and more VK, less 5N and more SN.
Or maybe the random routine is not working properly. Seams like 5W, A22, A35, 5N, 5R, 4K are all very active!
[DL4MM:] Yes, I think there are really not too much EU calls inside, and especially the mentioned number 4K and HP-calls should be reduced compared to VK and SP-calls.
I believe there are also a lot of very old and sometimes no longer existing calls.
Well known new calls should be added.
It is very difficult to get a very balanced call-database, opinions are very different, what kind of calls should be inside.
And of course a frequent change of call-database would not be advantageous.
But I think, now after a quite long period of same calls it could be time to modernize call-file. I'm thinking about how to do this and make new scores comparable to the existing ones.
Please stay tuned ..

At least I managed to listen LA7MFA, hi, and I made a mistake in the number
(such a shame!).
[DL4MM:] Hi .. this makes RUFZ so exciting ..

After all nice program, but I whish it could be easier to correct the call while listening, keybord is almost shut off during sending of the call. Using a DEL key is a nightmare.
[DL4MM:] I'm not sure if you are using latest RUFZ-version 3.1.
With this version RUFZ shows typed characters while CW-output.
Additional you can change over between Insert and Overwrite-mode, and you can use
both DEL and BACK-key.

73 de, Lech, LA7MFA


After going through a deep and frustrating valley with less points and low
speed for approx. 2 weeks I got a new high score.
Thanks for a fantastic program with a lot of fun.
Gerald, DL4KG


After a short break I played again a bit with RUFZ - well, funny, this run
seemed like the others to me "not enough to beat my own highscore", but when
I finally looked at the result - hey! i made it :)
RUFZ is full of surprises - a genius program!!

Hi,
I have no new high score but reached a new personal top speed:
357 characters
Will go on to improve speed and score. RUFZ is a really great software.
Best wishes

Now I have to make a bigger score...
Jason N5NU


RUFZ is exactly like a good video game where the enemy ships come at you
faster and faster and the tension makes you want to jump out the window.
I didn't like it at first because I didn't realize what I was dealing
with, but now I'm addicted.
I really like the ease of use and the scorekeeping provides incentive to
keep coming back. The TopList on the web is a great incentive too.
73, Nick, WA5BDU


hi to all of RUFZ folks. like you can see I was off for a long long
time, and now somehow I managed to get a computer, and to give a call to
you. I'm very soory for not participating in HST99. I saw in results
many, many nice and very high results, so congrats to all especialy
to RV9CPV and RX9CFO and offcourse to all golden RUFZers from italy.
I hope next time I will be able to participate and make the competition
more interesting than it was, altought it was full of new records.
I am still not ready to make new nice scores but soon I hope to be again
in the old, and maybe better shape. so that's about it for this time.
ones again 73 to all of you and cu soon
after long long time 4n7rgh


Thank you for such a great program. This is my 40th year as a Ham. I
started using CW in the Military in 1956 but we usually operated at about 18
wpm. I became very active again in the last 2 years and I am determined to
get my Extra Class this year! That means getting back up to 20 wpm. I try
to get on the air as much as possible using CW......but many operators just
send the minimum number of characters to confirm the contact and my speed
has been hanging around 15 wpm for about 3 months now. I have only used
your RUFZ program for about 2 days and 3 sessions and can really feel the
difference. I am back to typing characters 2 or 3 after they are sent and
this really helps. I didn't realize that I was concentrating too hard on
copying each character as soon as sent and missing the first part of the
next one!
Thanks again.....73/K5VUU/George


Not enough for a better place, but confirmation of old experience:
Have a business trip to China = Score improvment :)
Have fun with RUFZ...!

I'm at the beginning in CW !! I'm doing a lot of exercise and I hope
to send you soon better score. Bye

I thank you for your usefull CW program!

After passing OH2IW on the list, my main goal was to beat OH6EI's
score. I got close but didn't seem to be able to get those last 150 points.
When OH7JR posted his 46.8 k, I was devastated!
I was sure I would never reach that high ...
Well, now I did it! Anyhow, I think it's just the matter
of time before Tomi and Jami come up with some awesome numbers.
Meanwhile I'll enjoy it while I can.

here it is FINALLY over 80k
lucky me...cu all soon again
73's de Goran, 4n7rgh


The reason I have so many tries is that I use RUFZ for straight CW practice.
It is very useful for that purpose, as most pressure is on the CW operator
when he is trying to get the other guy's call, and that is what I like to practise.

very nice fight for the second place...also on this side here is a new

soon i will be also above 80k and when i get over this category i can
beat them hi...

Nach langer Abstinenz und umzugsbedingter Antennenlosigkeit konnte ich meinen
Score mal wieder etwas aufmoebeln.
Bis ich wieder ne Antenne habe, komme ich vielleicht noch etwas hoeher.
Mal schauen.
Beste 73 etc. de Carsten, DL1EFD


I guess with a bit of practice the score should improve !!
It is a very challenging program !!

Nice Program, just tested version 3.0 the first time.
vy73 de Andy DL7KAM


Ich habe mir vor 3 Tagen aus dem Internet das Programm RUFZ 3.0 geholt.
Ich bin echt fasziniert von diesem Programm,man hat kaum bzw. gar keine Zeit mal Luft zu holen,hi.
Da ich nur am Wochenende zu Hause bin und auf den KW-Baendern CW machen kann, ist RUFZ ideal fuer mich, um die Woche ueber im Training zu bleiben und das Tempo weiter zu steigern.
Mal sehen ob ich mich in der Topscore-Liste im laufe der Zeit noch etwas voranhangeln kann, hi.
Daniel DH8DX


You need a country where you can not be on air so easy, a notebook with RUFZ, two beers before and it leads to a improvement of your own scoring... - for sure!
73 de Arno, DL1CW


remarks, what I mis is average CW_speed calculation over the 50 calls....
Thanks for nice program...

[DL4MM]: Ok, I will thinking to apply this feature in next update


hi youngsters
well, i am born on 01.05.1983 so hrvoje, you are 2 days older than i am... anyway my best result is next:
on the toplist is my 54k score, but i also have another one. i think it is 57180 pts with speed of 462... that seems like a good speed and also good sum for 15 years old ham...
well soon i hope there will be a toplist only for us youngsters which will made RUFZ-ing more interesting to young hams. than we will see who is the best from youngsters (hi)..
73's and all the best to all of young hams that are in RUFZ
goran, 4n7rgh


I just want to write that I support Goran, 4N7RGH in his idea about special RUFZ HISCORE LIST....
Greetings !!!

Anbei mein erstes Ergebnis fuer die Topliste:
vy 73 de Walter, DK8UE


thank you for the soapbox message. so i decideed to drop you a line because i'm under 16 years old. one month ago i became 15 year old boy, and i'm a little bit better than n5nu (just abt 10k)
the suggestion is that maybe you and je1cka could make a special list for youngsters but below 20 years old. that would be very interesting stuff, not just for me, but to all young rufz-ers.
it is a bit crazy to deal with such a great guys like ha3ov, df4pa and others. we are just too joung for that. so think about the suggestion and let me know if you like it.
i'm sure that there are a lot of young people that like RUFZ but cannot go to the top of the list.
73;s and see you soon mat
goran, 4n7rgh (15 yrs old)
[DL4MM]: Yes, Junior-Toplist - interesting idea , please qrx


I saw you were searching for youngsters...
well here I am...I'm 15 yrs old for abt 1 mounth...my date is 28th April 1983...
anyhow ... I must give you my new score made about 1 mounth ago...I sent that score to 9a3uf but I think he didnt send it to you ... why? .. that only God knows...anyhow now I have 35023 378 378 17 3598165...so I got N5NU's speed...now I need points...main problem is that I was reciving RUFZ last time hmmm mounth ago...and problem is that I removed SoundBlaster because I put inside SCC card which I use for PR...and today's problem is that I'm not in mood for putting phones connected to PCspeaker...well we will see...
ok my friend...it was all for now ... anyhow my nickname is Hrle...real name
is Hrvoje but I prefer to call me Hrle...pse...hi...
ok pal...stay cool and catch you later....
73's es GL fm 9a6nhh, Hrle


.. During my exercises, I reached one time a max speed of 290. So, I work speed and I hope I will still improve my RUFZ 3.0 score soon. Looking at the top of the list, I am really admirative in front of those very high scores ... They are really Champions.
Guy ON4KLG


I really appreciate your program. It has really helped my abilty to copy call signs for DX/contests. I've gone from 15 WPM to a top of about 40 WPM.
David Jones, KK7GW


I have this week off from travel and work, so will spend some time all week trying to up the score. Have been catching up on sleep and rest so am doing much better. I think I can do the 525 again and possibly beat the 100K mark. I'll be trying with great gusto this week. Thanks for an exciting program and contest. It is a challenge.

Since I sent you my last score (20612 pts), I was very motivated to improve. I train about half an hour every day and I use 3 differents softwares. MSLCW (to improve the speed) ; Morse Academy (to improve my mind memory) and PED (to train my mind in " confusing " environment). When I feel ready, I make a test with RUFZ 3.0 .I don't know if it's a good method but it seems to work as I again improved my high score and my maximum receiving speed.
Here it is : Points : 23111 Max Speed : 312 Check Sum : 2452162
I still hope to improve as I feel I can do better. At this time, I make confusions between H and 5; V and 4; B and 6.
All the best 73's dear Mathias. Guy, ON4KLG


Please find my last score at RUFZ 3.0. For information, during my exercises, I realized 21472 points with a max speed of 337 (I am happy about that) and a check sum of 2556385.
But here follow my top score at RUFZ 3.0 for the time being : Points : 26174 Max Speed : 297 Check Sum : 2478583
Thanks again for RUFZ, I enjoy each session. Even when I go to work, I listen to cw. I recorded some cw on an audio cassette. If someone was beside me, there is no doubt he think I am crazy....hi
Guy, ON4KLG


After being in a slump, and doing no RUFZ for several weeks, I came back with a bang. Had a few new high scores for me, including the above. Will probably be a long time until I can do better, hi.
73 Barry, W2UP


K5FO 90233 543 543 15 8060871 if I read the screen correctly.
I had another work in progress when I got the stupid "Speed Alarm!" message. Should I worry about that one? Tell HA3OV that his score is in serious trouble. I have a vacation this next week and won't have the computer with me to keep on working at it, but I'll take a small receiver and listen for QRQ stations. I think I can get back to the 625 speed that I had on the old program if I can catch two small calls back to back. :-) This is fun.
Too bad I have to work for a living.
ciao dudes, I was listening some guys on 40M last night going at 60wpm. Sounded like they were doing 30 wpm. :-)

[DL4MM:] Congrats Chuck !! Incredible performance !


Hello! I am back on a question I sent you a mail about before. I am trying to reach a specific speed level, that is I want to always be able to catch a call sign at that speed. I would guess that I am not alone in this. To see my progress I am interested not so much in the maximum speed I reach each time but in the minimum one. I understand that there are reasons for not putting the minimum speed in the result list - but perhaps it would be possible to delay the change of screen at the end of the run for 5 or 10 seconds to enable the user to read the screen with the last data. As it is now, when I hear the didadidadit I look up but the it is already too late to see my lowest speed. If I look during the run I miss out on concentration.
Saludos Goran ea8yu
[DL4MM:] I'm thinking to implement this feature in next update


VS6BG showed me this fascinating software in Beijing when we attended the 10th IARU Region 3 Conference in September. Since moving from Hong Kong to Tokyo, I have no opportunity to enjoy HF. So I asked him to send this software by E-Mail. Here is my current best score, which I am sending with respect to the programmer and data keepers. Thank you for giving me this fun opportunity.

.. as PR does not seem to be reliable, I will send you my new next scores via Internet. [DL4MM:] To all users: Pse send your scores via Email (if you can) Email is much more reliable than Packet Radio


As far as I will still improve them...... Please find below my latest top score dated from thursday the 4th of december. I did it just at the first attempt when I came back from work.....hi.
POINTS : 29546 MAX SPEED : 320 CHECK SUM : 2830767
The 30 000 points barrier is now very close and I hope to break it very soon. Thanks for your info about the F8 function key at score window. Now, I introduced 999.
GUY ON4KLG
[DL4MM:] To all users: Pse use F8 at score window to increase max. number of attempts (up to 999 !), or F9 to set number of same calls for score-list.


It has been at least 2 months since I played RUFZ. Got on today and did a new high score on first attempt.
Roy AD5Q


Your program accept own call sign only 11 times and I don't know what to do May I try again? How to put my own LY2BTA CALL in the program? how to reset all results in program scores list???
[DL4MM:]Pse use Functionkeys at scorewindow,
  <F3> to clear a single scoreline
  <F2> to clear complete scorelist
  <F8> sets up 999 attempts for each call
  <F9> shows each call up to 999-times in the list
Try it out !


Hi guys! Finally got around to downloading 3.0--it's really great!
Only made three quick tries so far. Here's my best score:
N4GN 20913 277 277 2020065
know I can do a lot better, so I'll be sending higher scores once I get some time to play with it a bit more!

I forgot to mention what happened to me the first time I tried 3.0.
I was very near my max speed and got some horrible call starting with VP2M/. So I hit F6, and it turned out to be my own old call--VP2M/KJ4VH!!!
What a terrible call sign--I couldn't even copy it myself!

IT WAS A GOOD MONDAY MORNING TO INCREASE THE SCORE
BEST 73'S HB9ARF


Hello to all, it is very unbelievable, but i increased my score and my
maximum speed! I made 28528 and 357, but for sure, i will try again!!!!
Ciao de Gius IT9VDQ - KB6FBD - K6F.


Had to change my database-software to add HA3OV's 104k-score.
I never believed, that anybody would be able to get more then 99999 points.
.. never say never ..
73 Mat [DL4MM]


Hi thanks for info for forwarding RUFZ . Find the program amazing .
In just 1 month my receiving of call signs has improved greatly , although compared to others it is still a feeble score , hi .
John GM0WDF


I have RUFZ at work now, and am working a lot of overtime, but most of it is spent sitting around waiting for things to happen - so I play RUFZ and look at the OH2BUA Web Cluster and drool over what I'm missing :)
Thanks for the excellent software.
Gerard GI0RTN


It's getting hard to brake my own record. I have to study more.
Cesar AC Rodrigues PY2YP


first many thanks for create this software RUFZ it is really funny to use it.
I think that is a good way to progress in CW.
I am very surprised to see how the high scores are big!!!!
Each evening i try to make a better score but it is not very easy!!!!
Good luck for the future and mni tnx to diffuse the high score on packet.
